Private, Custom Tours You Drive Yourself

(Alaska Green Jeeps)

Exciting news for our DIY customers!

All of our Jeeps are now equipped with radios to ensure that groups renting multiple vehicles are able to communicate! We are now booking reservations for the 2019 winter and cruise ship seasons. Give us a call or “book online now” to reserve one of our low mile automatic transmission Jeeps with 4 wheel drive. We feel strongly that the “Do It Yourself” concept of the DIY name fits perfectly with our business motto of empowering our guests with the self-guilded tour concept.

The Convenience of a Rental, the Informative Fun of a Tour!

Better than just another Skagway rental car, DIY Jeep Tours offers you all the freedom of a rental with the convenience of a tour! A one-hour-plus audio CD provides plenty of local history and lore. We also have a mile-by-mile guide that features all of the historic and scenic stops.! Located in southeast Alaska, Skagway offers the perfect vacation with world famous historic sites; spectacular scenery, and unique charm. We are the ‘Gateway to the Klondike’ and the Yukon Territory, home to some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife you’ll find anywhere!

Why We’re Different:

This Self Guided Jeep Tour offers the only tour of its kind in Skagway! You have your own personal Jeep for the entire day… it’s part rental car, part tour, and the best of both! No more being pushed to leave when you want more photos, or having to wait when you’re ready to roll on. Stop and go at your leisure, visit the sights that interest you and skip those that don’t. You control the interior temperature, speaker volume, length of stops… even the amount of tour narration you receive! We’ll provide you with all the information you’ll need for a memorable day in both Skagway and the Yukon. Because we are locally owned and operated, we are dedicated to helping you have a wonderful vacation with unforgettable memories: just compare our customer service and see the difference!

I want you to know that your company is “BY-FAR” the best. Your CD of the “invisible tour guide” was AWESOME!. We learned so much from you guys. By the way, we saw black bear, and grizzly bear, and eagles also. So much more than we ever expected.

We saw numerous Bears, this one was the most friendly – came close to our car and didn’t mind us one bit. Those who chose the ***** were severely disappointed, wished they had looked into the Green Jeeps.

The jeep rental was the highlight of our trip. We missed the bear sighting last week, but what fun to explore Alaska, Canada and the Yukon in one day. We really enjoyed Skagway and wanted more time to explore the town…maybe next time. Thanks for the extra touches like the snacks and drop off at the dock. We were able to maximize our time before returning to the Disney Wonder. What an experience!

The other reviews have already sited how great it is to use this company to ” do your own ” tour. So I won’t go over it again. However what I do want to point out is how wonderful everyone was to deal with. They were truly friendly, help full and caring. Great experience from the time I booked tour with the owners wife, to the staff at the counter at pick up!!! People in the customer service industry could learn a lot from this tiny town and business!!! Thanks for making Skagway a place to remem…
